far cheaper than paying rent. You can
call to thind many of your ~acguaintances
that own two or three dwellings, who To-
day, had they not taken advantage Of the
opportunities offered by a building associa-
ton, would be paying rent the same rs you
are doing. The fact that hundreds OF
workingmen in Bellaire are now living In
their own homes that have been secured by
an association of capital which had for its
prime object the building..of those homes,
is an answer complete in itself, and worthy
the consideration Of him who would better
the condition of himself and family.
If it were possible to give the number OF
houses that heve been built in this city
the past fifteen years by the aid OF build
ing associations, the statement would ap-
pear almost incredible; yet the property
accumulated by these institutions Is not
the only advantage that has been derived
from them. Indeed, We believe the a
Of thrift and economy they have engen-
dered and fostered is of far greater value
to our workingmen than the monetary
consideration they have received. mat
man is dull indeed who, after he has
saved from his earnings sufficient to buy q
home, has not learned the true
value of money and the extreme folly oil
frittering it away in needless expenditures.
That each new association organized ere
ates a demand for more depositors Is fully
demonstrated in the case Of the Belmont
Savings and Loan Company, started TWO
years ago, when there were already three
associations here, each in a hourishing
condition. The Belmont organized with
some | 200 shares In q year it had grown
to 1888 shares; and their last annual report
showed 2,556 shares in force. so Tar on It's
third year it has made an increase OF over
one hundred shares per month. IL must
not be understood from this that the other
associations are going down-hill. They are
not.
